Indigenous Criminal Justice Research Agenda
The Indigenous Criminal Justice Research Agenda (ICJRA) was originally developed in response to the first independent Evaluation Report of the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Justice Agreement (Justice Agreement).
The ICJRA aimed to:
- provide strategic direction for Indigenous criminal justice research so that government research is focused on key issues
- expand Queensland-specific knowledge of Indigenous crime, victimisation and justice
- provide a sound platform upon which to develop Indigenous justice policy
- achieve high quality, reliable research within government agencies.
